The asymptotic number of lattice zonotopes in a hypercube

Abstract: We provide a sharp estimate for the asymptotic number of lattice zonotopes, inscribed in $[0,n ]^d$ when $n$ tends to infinity. Our estimate refines the logarithmic equivalent established by Barany, Bureaux, and Lund when the sum of the generators of the zonotope is prescribed. As we shall see, the exponential part of our estimate is composed of a polynomial of degree $d$ in $n^{1/(d+1)}$, and involves Riemann's zeta function and its non-trivial zeros. %Our analysis is based on a mapping between sums of coprime numbers and Eulerian polynomials. We also analyze some combinatorial properties of lattice zonotopes. In particular, we provide the first moment of the polyhedral graph asymptotic diameter when $n$ goes to infinity.
